T0 at whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM CAMPBELL, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful improvements inVVall-Paper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention consists of wall-paper ornamented with flock or otherpulverized material of different colors, to produce a clouded andvariegated appearance.

The invention also consists of the method of applying the pulverizedornamenting material to the surface of the paper, and of the apparatusemployed for carrying the process into effect. 7

Reference is to be hadto the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 illustrates wall-paper ornamented in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is a broken side view of the apparatus for coating thepaper, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional elevation of the same.

A represents an ordinary flockingmachine consisting of a suitable casingwith an inclined flexible bottom, a, and drawing roller I). Along oneside of the machine is a shaft, 0, provided with numerous tappets,gf,for striking the heaters (Z to cause them to strike the under surface ofthe bottom a. The beaters are pivoted upon the shaft f, and are normallyheld in contact with the bottom a by the strong springs 5 so that whenthe tappets strike the short ends of the heaters the opposite ends willbe lowered against the tension of the springs, which will react when thetappets pass the short ends of the heaters and cause the heaters tostrike the under surface of the flexible bottom. Above the flexiblebottom a of the tlockingmaehine are held several fun.- nel'shapedreceptacles, h, in which the pulverized ornamenting material is placed.

The paper to be ornamented is first coated on one surface with size orglue, as illustrated at z, and is then passed along the flexible bottoma and attached to the drawing-roller b. The ornamenting material is thenplaced in the receptacles h, a different color in each receptacle. Themachine is then put in operation, which causes the different coloredpulverized material to be beaten up and spread over the paper. At thesame time the drawing-roller b will be put in motion, which will slowlydraw the paper through the machine. The differenhcolored ornamentingmaterials will dispose themselves at different parts of the paper, asindicated atj and it, give distinct solid colors at those parts, andwhere the different colors meet they will mingle, producing a variegatedappearance, asindicated at E, thus producing a very handsome and richornamented paper.

I am aware that fabrics and also paper have heretofore been ornamentedwith pulverized dry colors applied during the process of manufacturing,and applied with brushes, as in the patent to \Villiam Hedden, No.249,342, NovemberS, 1851, and in the patent to WV. H. R. Toye, No.238,991, March 1, 1881, and therefore do not claim, broadly, theornamentation of paper or other fabric with pulverized dry colors ofdifferent colors.

Having thus fully described my invention, l
